Answer:

The correct answer is A. The U-shaped body of water of the image is called oxbow lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxbow lake is a small U-shaped lake that forms in the curve of an abandoned meander of a fluvial channel. It is formed in general when the river cuts the neck of a meander to shorten its course, which causes the old channel to be quickly blocked, and then it is separated from the channel.
